Deputies: Search leads to drug bust in Greenwood

Greenwood deputies who were serving an active warrant ended up finding drugs and a gun, they said in their report.

Deputies said they arrived to serve a warrant for Karlin Foster, 33, when they smelled marijuana. Astra Brooks, 33, answered the door and said Foster was not home and deputies presented a search warrant to search the house, they said.

When deputies searched the home they found a revolver, digital scale, plastic baggies, $3,000 in cash and approximately 83 grams of white rock like substance, according to deputies.

Astra was placed under arrest for trafficking cocaine, trafficking crack cocaine and possession of a weapon during the commission of a violent crime, according to deputies.

Deputies said they are seeking warrants for trafficking cocaine and trafficking crack cocaine for Foster.
